I'm trying to set up a simple VBO page but I'm not seeing any node operations in the Bulk Operations setting area. Since the whole point of my view is to edit a CCK field I'm a little stumped.

In fact, if I edit the admin_content or admin_content_node views and change anything in the Settings area (like changing the default sort), I lose all the Bulk Operations actions in the dropdown ("Delete Node", "Make post sticky", "Make post unsticky", etc) because they are not displayed in the operations list.

I assume I am just missing something basic since I have used VBO before with no issues. I've got the Views6-3alpha and the latest dev of VBO. Thanks for any help!

1) Please update Views to 6.x-3.x-dev. Alpha3 is a year and a half old, and nasty.
2) Are you logged in as admin, or a user with less privileges?
3) Is the actions_permissions module enabled?
4) What operations are you seeing?

1) Today's Views dev is broken (at least, I get a bunch of filtering errors when I try it, saying there are invalid filtering choices on perfectly valid choices). I am actually using a dev from a few weeks ago [but I tested with the alpha and got the same results, since telling you "using an un-dated dev" is not necessarily helpful].

2) Logged in as UID#1.

3) actions_permissions is enabled. It wasn't, before you asked, but it is now (and all caches cleared/etc) and still no change in my operations list.

4) I'm seeing the following operations:
Apply patch (patch_manager_apply_action)
Delete patch (patch_manager_delete_action)
Display a message to the user (system_message_action)
Execute a VBO programmatically (views_bulk_operations_action)
Execute arbitrary PHP script (views_bulk_operations_script_action)
Pass objects as arguments to a page (views_bulk_operations_argument_selector_action)
Redirect to URL (system_goto_action)
Revert patch (patch_manager_revert_action)
Send e-mail (system_send_email_action)

Hi I'm having the same issue.
I have a bunch of vbo views. Most of them use rules components as actions available to the users.
None of those are now available to any users but the Admin and I can confirm that the actions listed by leenwebb in the previous post are still there.
I don't use actions_permissions.
I've updated to the latest devs for rules, vbo, views and ctools.
For now I'm just reporting the bug, but I'll post if I'll have some more details.

You are running into http://drupal.org/node/1217128 which is not the same problem that OP is having.

Yep, I'm sure you are right.
Actually, just before checking again on this issue i was testing the vbo components class and rules access.

So

/**
   * Returns whether the provided account has access to execute the operation.
   *
   * @param $account
   */
  public function access($account) {
    return rules_action('component_' . $this->operationInfo['key'])->access();
  }

is returning false and this is where my thing stops.
If I change it to return true everything is working again and that's basically what fago is suggesting on the other thread. Am I right?

Yes, and that's what I will commit as a quickfix until fago fixes the Rules bug.

Any thoughts on what might be causing this? I have downloaded all-new versions of Views & VBO, uninstalled/reinstalled, etc and am still not seeing any of the basic node actions. I'm using VBO in place of the generic /node/content and the node operations in the dropdown *work*, I just can't see any of them in the Views settings.

Sorry, I don't want to be pushy! I've started doing the 500+ updates by hand but it's getting old fast. :) Thanks!

Turns out this is an incompatibility between VBO and the Patch Manager module. Turning off Patch Manager fixed it immediately. New issue here: #1301442: Incompatibility with Views Bulk Operations
